people commit for their reasons not yours

I’m reflecting on a young man who doesn’t care much for making commitments. I’ll call him Drift. He’s easygoing, generous, kind, carefree, and transparent. I like him. Drift doesn’t demand much from life. He takes things as they come. In his role, you might be surprised to know that Drift is committed, dedicated, flexible, helpful, and reliable. He doesn’t make commitments because it’s the right thing to do. He makes commitments for his reasons, not someone else’s. Frankly, Drift makes a bigger contribution than many who fit more traditional patterns.

Interim CROs

When the survival of the organization is at stake and things have reached crisis proportions, traditional chief restructuring officers are a solid option and best fit. A CRO immediately brings credibility and objectivity to the restructuring process, while stabilizing the ranks and quickly devising a plan to lead the turnaround.

Confidence builders and skilled communicators, they bring deep financial and industry-specific experience. This allows them to identify the root cause(s) of under-performing organizations, and to work in concert with CEOs to transform organizations from the inside out using strong strategic and negotiation skills.

“In a healthcare system’s most mature state, everyone owns quality,” says Baylor Scott & White Health’s chief quality officer. So if everyone owns quality, why have a CQO?

How One Doctor Realized He Was His Own Biggest Management Problem

Oh, the things they don’t teach you in medical school. . . .

Every practicing physician carries around a list of blunders, miscommunications, errors, and missed chances — a pile-up of regrets and lessons learned the hard way. These doctors carry on by doing the very thing that propelled them through med school and residency: toughing it out, pushing through the next obstacle to achieve their goal. It can sometimes feel like a Pyrrhic victory.

The road can get really rough in the middle of the journey. Frustrations mount, hopes darken — especially for physicians moving into leadership roles. The pressures from all sides can drain the satisfaction out of a career in medicine, leading to depression, lousy home life, self-defeating workaholism, and ultimately, professional burnout.

That’s what Geoffrey Leung, MD, was at risk of experiencing when he applied for the California Health Care Foundation’s leadership program two years ago. Now finishing up his second and final year in the fellowship, Leung wants other aspiring physician leaders in California to know there’s a path out of the swamp.
